When The People’s Scholar Dr.Boyce Watkins discussed his disinterest in tuning into the hit TV Show “Empire” – I didn’t get it.

Dr. Watkins stated, “Fox is not known for producing the most favorable images of black people, so I figured this show wouldn’t be any different. For some reason, black dysfunctionality makes for great television, and there is a long line of white guys getting rich off of our willingness to celebrate all that makes us miserable.”

I believe, there are a multitude of dimensions to “black people.” I work in Hollywood and I know, that leading roles for Taraji Penda Henson won’t come across a creative executive desk as often as leading roles for Jennifer Aniston.

Hollywood depicts black poverty, black homosexuality, black hardships, and black wealth, and some of these depictions are a “true” replica of black life.

“Empire” is an exciting show to watch and what I find the most interesting about “BLACK TELEVISION” is…it’s usually WRITTEN by a large group of WHITE PEOPLE.

So, I’m cutting off EMPIRE this season and it has nothing to do with the cast, the storyline, or anything to do with its creative structure.

I was working out a few days ago and FOX News had three middle age caucasian women discussing the ‪#‎DeathOfSandraBland‬ and their description of her was so horrific it almost brought tears to my eyes…I wanted to defend Sandra some kind of way, I wanted to protect her image from people who have never met her, but would potentially take on the same point of view of her as these conservatives.

That’s when it hit me..Sometimes we support the blackface and our oppressor at the same time. Fox could care less about the progression of African American people – they mock the deaths of our youth by justifying each pulled trigger, and it’s okay – as long as we tune in and watch “Empire.”

Fuck Fox & Fuck Empire! You will NOT humiliate a dead black woman, my dead sister, my dead cousin, and my dead friend and expect me to show some kind of support to your black tv show!

Now 42 people are facing state or federal drug charges for their alleged roles in supplying and distributing heroin around West Grenshaw and Independence in the North Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side, the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.

Among them is the 33-year-old Triplett, also known as “Trell,” who authorities said controlled the drug market in the area.

Investigators even included a photo in a federal criminal complaint spanning more than 200 pages. They said the photo depicts a line of people waiting on June 16 to get their hands on heroin supplied by Triplett’s organization in the 3700 block of West Grenshaw.

The photo was taken just south of the Eisenhower Expressway, which has come to be known as “Heroin Highway.”

“Early this morning, they woke me up,” said North Lawndale resident Precious Archer.

Archer said around 7 o’clock, four agents were knocking on her door near the 3700 block of West Grenshaw, which is ground zero of the alleged drug ring.

“They had pictures of people, basically asking did we see this person,” she said.

Authorities say the heroin was diluted to increase profits.

“This is one of those locations that we always talk about, a drive up location on the West Side where people come in from the suburbs to buy narcotics and return,” Supt. Garry McCarthy said.

The DEA said the drug was obtained from Mexico. Its sale generated nearly a quarter of a million dollars every month.

“This multi-agency investigation…represents a significant hammer-blow to the open-air drug markets operating in North Lawndale and Douglas Park,” McCarthy said.

DEA Special Agent-in-Charge Dennis Wichern, who worked on the case, said: “Every day, one person in Chicago dies from a heroin overdose.”

Chicago police and Drug Enforcement Administration agents assigned to the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force led the investigation. Sixteen people face federal charges. They include Triplett, who is charged with drug conspiracy and faces a minimum of 10 years in prison if convicted. Another 26 face state charges.

This is a very sad story. May God help those lined up and those that are about to be lined up in prison for their contribution.

What has happened to the black woman
defining her beauty in the eyes of America
WEB Dubois said it’s Double Consciousness

Sista’s What’s happening this day and time
where a woman is more concerned with her behind
over her mind

we are an indigenous kind
You’re a black queen
but you wanna be black Chyna

People have convinced you that you aint shit
so you concern yourself with being thick
oppose to intelligent

You were created by God
you will alter his perfection
to mimic Nicki Minaj

What Happened to you…

They have you keeping up with the Kardashians
more than you’re keeping up with your daughters and sons homework
Innocent children
I wish you could see how their mind work

Mothers can’t lift their daughters up
cause she’s too busy trying to lift up her azz
I thought you knew
anything behind you is considered the past
The black woman has bigger issues like the wage of working class
Statistics say the worth of a single black woman in America is $5
Now you do the math…

They’re saying you’re worth $5
but you dropping thousands on butt injections
for whose perception?
Whose acceptance?
If you’re getting butt injections for a man
than that’s a damn shame
cause a brother will “f*ck” you easily
& will never give you his last name
yes! If your booty big
He’ll sleep with you
but he don’t marry you..
see you down
but he won’t carry you
cause the next big booty girl
got his attention too
so present him with something that another woman doesn’t have
like the God in you…
Stop chasing false images of beauty
I don’t care if you got a bad body
if you ain’t saving these kids than you aint nobody
America has always been able to fascinate you
with what’s hot
and what’s not
Butt injections is the latest trend
but how many black women lives will come to an end
for this silly obsession “f*$%ing” butt injections…

I stopped watching reality television about a year ago. Although I’ve chosen to stop watching reality TV there are millions of African American women who’ve chosen to support the sad, uneducated, angry, and fighting image of the black woman.

When I heard about MiMi Faust’s sex tape – I thought it was a joke or rumor. Well, maybe I was only hoping it was a joke or rumor. When I think of MiMi’s role on the show, I always considered her to be one of the more grounded women on the show in comparison to some of the other women. Also, MiMi always stated that being a mother was the most important role that she played, despite being on a television.

Now three seasons into the toxic display of television – she has a leading role in porn.

Black women have always played the role of the help – our ancestral blood line in America has produced an unconscious lack of self-worth – Our masters use to rape us while our men were forced to watch or die. Our children were snatched from us, now we have a society – where our men still watch our suffering, parenting no longer holds significance in a woman’s life, and every chance we get we have to be “Auction Block Ass Niggers.”

Many people have argued that MiMi’s sex tape is a replica of Kim Kardashian’s.

It’s NOT!

Here’s why?

Kim Kardashian came from a family of wealth and not the wealth your “good aunt has with the good job.” The Kardashian clan had enough money to party with “A” list celebrities, judges, doctors, and the HILTON franchise.

Half of you niggas can’t get a room at the HITLON without checking for the best rate – and this white woman Kim Kardashian grew up with “HILTON’S” children!

Mimi’s world and Kim’s world will always be far apart. Kim Kardashian will always get paid 100,000 thousand to attend an event and MiMi will always get 10,000 thousand to attend that same event.

How much is a nigger worth?!?

A SLAVE AUCTION in Savannah Georgia during the year of 1859 SOLD A WOMAN with a lame left foot for 695 dollars. (Equivalent to about 15,000 dollars today)

How much is a Nigger Worth?!?!

How much is a Nigger worth?!?!

Auction block ass thinking amongst black women must stop!

Why must black women put a price on everything? We’re willing to fight on television, we’re willing to be the side chick on television, and we’re willing to share our intimate sexual moments on television!

The difference between MiMi Faust and Kim K isn’t solely race, but Kim K will leave her daughter generational wealth, her children will stand on a house hold name built from the labor of her father, but niggers like MiMi Faust will only leave a legacy that can pause, rewind, fast forward, and play on a television!

Emmitt Till’s mother was asked by the President of the United States – to not have a funeral with an open casket, but she declined – because some things in life don’t have a price to it.

African Americans supposedly make up 12% of this Country, but we’re 90% of America’s poor and 100% of America’s whore. Black women numbers take the lead in reference to newly HIV cases, but go ahead – reality TV stars – keep encouraging and promoting sex before marriage, shame in the name of fame, keep promoting every negative thing that keeps our sons locked up and buried and our daughters pregnant in their teens!

Keep Being Niggers!

Keep the Auction block thinking, and one day MiMi’s daughter will follow in the same footsteps as her mother because the mother is the first teacher of every child!

MiMi Faust could have used her platform for anything in this world, but all she could come up with was “sex on camera.”

Most young men Chef Mike Valli’s age are finishing college, looking for a job that will lead to a long time career. I guess it’s safe to say that Chef Mike Valli isn’t most men.

Your favorite singer, rapper, or reality star has had a taste of Chef Mike Valli’s creativity. Chef Mike Valli’s clientele consists of a list of heavy hitters such as, Waka Flocka, Mike Will, Future, K. Michelle, Yandy Smith, and many more.

Although Chef Valli has a celebrity clientele the dream didn’t start that way. Chef Valli dropped out of culinary school, found himself unemployed and looking for work. He was headed to Publix for a promising interview; he received a phone call from a man who needed a personal chef to assist him in losing weight. At that moment, not only did Chef Valli change the direction of his car—he changed the direction of his life.

Chef Valli is the CEO of his own catering company, and creator of state-of-the-art chef coats matching his beautifully presented and tasting food.

Chef Valley didn’t want to keep his success a secret, when I asked him about advice for his young peers that are sitting on a gift, he simply replied “Take life’s ingredients and make something good out of it.”

Chef Valli’s catering service is located in the Atlanta area, and if you wish to look as fly as him in a chef coat, you can place your order via email at chefmikevalli@gmail.com.

I was recently contacted by the creator of A field Negro.com and he shared some interesting things to me about the black man. Below there are lots of pictures of America’s prestigious African American men, and with them all you will find a white woman!!!

What does this mean for the black woman? What does this mean for the mothers who birthed these men?

The black woman is the last woman to try interracial dating-this collage should show all black women that finding a brothers love is no easy task-it’s time that black women start exploring all races for dating?

I’m not sure if I’m being safe about my stance against interracial dating- but I’m not for or against it. I know that I’m for Happiness, family, and love-but as a black woman these pictures “WILL MAKE YOU THINK”!

Dennis Rodman Writes A Children’s Book

Don’t expect Dennis Rodman to look to prepaid cards or payday loans to help pay his massive child support debt…..cause he’ll be writing children’s books and selling them to your kids.

Would you let NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman teach life lessons to your kids? The question may soon be answered when the former basketball star releases his own children’s book entitled: Dennis The Wild Bull. Reportedly, Rodman wants to inspire kids by writing about he overcame some of the challenges he faced as a young person. The Huffington Post reports:

Dennis Rodman has staked his claim in the literary world before, penning four autobiographical titles, including 2005′s “I Should Be Dead By Now.”

But the Hall of Famer’s newest work, “Dennis The Wild Bull,” isn’t the latest account of his raucous life, it may actually be a prequel — written for children, TMZ reports.

Details on the children’s book, which is slated to be released later this year, are minimal, but according to a website dedicated to the work, it will “convey good lessons to children based on Dennis’ own experiences as a world class athlete while overcoming obstacles as a child.” Rodman teamed up with author/screenwriter Dustin Warburton and illustrator Dan Monroe to create the book.
